Worktop repair near Sandown

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sandown. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Worktop repair in Sandown without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s cuts and scratches in the surface and damage from fitting or building work, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common problems we fix in Sandown

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for these signs:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chipped corners

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
